BLIZZARD DEATH TOLL MOUNTING
NEW YORK, N.Y., Feb. 1.—The mounting death toll in the blizzard that swept the Atlantic seaboard for three days had reached 4 today with the possibility that seven members of a ship's crew who took to life boats had drowned. The four-masted schooner Camilla Nor Page foundered off Brigantine Beach, N.J. The body of Captain Warren Grace of Philadelphia was washed ashore and when coast guardsmen finally made their way aboard the ship they found the life boats missing, but no trace of the crew of seven. The schooner, lumber-laden, was bound from Jacksonville for New York. New England continued in the grip of severe snow storm with several towns isolated. The snowfall averaged 9 feet. The sea subsidized some along the New Jersey, New York and New England coasts. Property loss along the New York and New Jersey coasts was estimated at between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000.
